I'm not 100% on this, but from what I've read I think you just try to connect to Live and it'll update. I don't know if you need Live or if you just need a game that supports Live tho...

1. Do you have to subscribe to live to update the dash (do you have to actually connect)?

2. Can you update with a backup copy?

3. What game(s) have the latest version of the dash?

4. Can you update with your mod-chip on (same as #2 I guess)?

You can update with your modchip on if you want to be banned.

The game discs themselves don't have the update, you connect to the Live server to download it. So any Live- enabled game will work.

I used Splinter Cell and I don't have an account. Worked perfectly.

Hmm... I thought you were only banned if you connected with the mod-chip on? If you just upgrade the dash it should not.

The game discs do have the update. That is what update.xbe is, right?

This is why I haven't updated yet... It is near impossible to find the "right" answer to these questions

I have an unmodded v1.1 Xbox (Adrenaline Pack) and it had the XBL option already on the dash when I got it. I always have my XB connected to the net since I like to play XBConnect a lot. For the hell of it, I selected the XBL option while being connected. After the little XBL animation, a status bar much like the one seen when copying music to the hdd came up. It said it was updating the dash. At that point I disconnected my internet and disrupted the process. I figured that my XB is fine the way it is, and I don't wanna risk M$ giving me an unexploitable dash (i.e. giving me a dash which no longer works with the new exploits). That's my experience...

EDIT: By the way, I don't subscribe to XBL.

I browsed my Return To Castle Wolfenstein DVD using boXplorer and ran the dashupdate.xbe file I found there. No problem.
